In the north transept the pillar and base only remain of a projecting piscina. complete roodloft stair on the north side; beside it, corbels for 2 images, and on the south side a niche for a third. Octagonal limestone font, C16 but heavily recut, bearing the emblems of the Passion in panels; fine C16 cover, of cupola form with crockets on each rib. In the chancel, 4 C16 bench ends built into C19 choirstalls, with carved animals upon the buttresses. Wall tablet in the chancel to Francis Seyliard, rector, 1676. Marble floor slabs, 1729 in chancel, and 1699 in north transept.
